The Report highlights continued progress in aligning supervisory practices across the European Union (EU), while identifying areas where further convergence is needed. It shows how strong and consistent supervision can support the simplification of the regulatory framework, reduce unnecessary complexity, and help secure a level playing field across the Single Market.
